Johnson created and composed this animation in response to Keaton Fox’s FEELS LIKE SPAM, (2016) responding to themes of dehumanization in all aspects of our increasingly connected, yet disassociated, and mediated lives. Fresh Meat (2023) reminds us that not much has changed in the ironic policing of ourselves via social media and contemporary, capitalist culture.
